    There are two main big beaches in Puerto del Carmen, of reddish brown sand and swimming is decent. There is a nice rocky/sandy area providing nice swimming and snorkeling up towards harbour end of long spread out resort. The most spectacular pale sand beach is down south at Papagayo, which is best reached on foot when staying at the southern area. It can be reached by hire car. It feels a bit like Connemara in the sun down there. You can get bus to Costa Teguise for alternative paler beaches. It’s nice to try the variety! Orzola and Graciosa Island in north have lovely sandy areas. Google Guaguas (buses in local dialect) Lanzarote for bus timetable. Lanzarote is well worth exploring, and remember to get to the spectacular Timanfaya National Park, a volcanic moonscape. You can book a tour to it on Viator.com

    There is a fine sandy beach running north from the Fariones suitehotel complex into what would be called 'new' PDC. Then there is a rocky rough stretch and another fine beach called Pocillos ... this is not a favourite tho as the water at low tide goes very far out and then there is a deep drop so careful swimming there. Also with wind on beach, the sand blowing can be a nuisance. After another rough stretch in front of Los Jameos Hotel, there is a good beach at Matagorda. It would be over an hour to walk along the seafront prom to this beach. Just along from this beach is a small more sheltered section close to Beatriz hotel but the sand here often disappears in storms. Now you are near the airport .... keep walking 40 minutes or so and you will come to Honda beach.

    You can walk all the way along the seafront from old PDC to Arrecife and beyond or hire a bike... all bike friendly.
